My Life Is Still Woe

[chess]

...and I don't even have my period to blame at the moment.

Whilst looking through the vacation work files, I found an advert for a job that I would actually like to do. This has not helped, because it means I get to be disappointed when I don't get it. I won't get it, because although I am pretty much perfect for it I don't have much on paper to prove this, and they have probably found someone already who appears to have more domain knowledge from their listable experience.

I ate breakfast about an hour ago and am wondering whether to bother with lunch, as there's no nice cheese left anyway. Maybe I should just drink some nice fruit juice. All of these things would require me to move, though, and my tuits all went missing again.

Did I mention how much I loathe the holidays? I still have two spare weeks in Easter, in which I shall go insane. Next week, thankfully, I have lots of panicking about summer job applications and walking across town in the dark and attempting to buy new trousers because all of my trousers have either developed holes in the rear or are too small to be worn by the New, Fat Chessypig. (I just wish my face didn't get fat, because otherwise I would just laugh maniacally at anyone who dared call me fat for not fitting into some size 12 things.) I am also quite terrified by the size of my thighs, which are now about three hand-spans around and mean I don't even quite fit into the old
pair of leggings I dragged out of retirement because of my lack of trousers.

Apply anyway - you can explain your "non paper" qualifications in your cover level.

Don't be so silly: of course you'll get it. You're a brilliant Cambridge CompSci, you know the domain and have a strong interest in it. You don't have to fight for jobs, you just have to apply for them and people will fall over themselves to make you an offer. Get your CV nice and polished, write a good cover letter and then blow them away when they call you to interview. Go for it!

Always go for it, you have nothing to lose. Besides, any experience is good experience for job applications. You might also be pleasantly surprised :)
Besides, if you're meant the get the job and it's right for you, you will get it. If not, no hard feelings, there's prob something much better waiting for you just over the horizon :)

Hey, you wrote my incredibly fantastic yuletide fic and I just wanted to pop around and say thank you on your own ground, so to speak. (Also, apply for the job. Cover letters, as someone else said, are a blessing.) So thank you! It was wonderful! :)
